Planning to take your bike on a train? There’s an app for that

Bikes and trains: it’s always been a slightly fraught relationship. But now, thanks to the Association of Train Operating Companies’ (ATOC) Integrated Transport team and National Rail Enquiries, that’s changing.

Version four of the NRE app – available free for iPhone and Android – has been updated so that anyone planning to cycle to a rail station or take their bike on a train can quickly and easily find out about cycling facilities at stations, and the rules for taking bikes on trains.
